Investing.com – According to the Financial Times of the UK, the United States is developing strict new guidelines for artificial intelligence, amid tensions with Anthropic.

The Financial Times reports that the draft rules will require civilian government contracts to make AI models available for any lawful purpose.

The new guidelines come as the U.S. government seeks to establish a clearer framework for AI deployment across federal agencies. These rules specifically target civilian government contracts, distinguishing them from potential military or defense applications.

The regulation development coincides with conflicts between U.S. authorities and Anthropic, though the report did not disclose specific details of the dispute.

The proposed framework will require AI models developed under civilian government contracts to be usable for all lawful purposes, which could impact how companies like Anthropic sign agreements with federal agencies.

This draft rule represents the latest effort by U.S. policymakers to balance AI innovation with regulatory oversight and public access to government-funded technology.
